I am using windows home xp,with an administrator account.
When using the command prompt I cant seem to change the directory using CD
to a drive other than the one windows is installed on:
Example:
This works:
While this doesn't:
Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Or is this just normal behavior for the CD command?

It works the same on my system. You should be typing "L:" instead of "cd L:\"
CD/CHDIR sets the per-drive current working directory, it doesn't change the current drive you're working with. This is somewhat counter-intuitive, but I guess it was inherited from DOS.
Check out the /D switch for the CHDIR command.

yeah just type DRIVELETTER:
...or check out the /D switch to CD :) (faster than CD X:\PR0N\BIGONES followed by X:)
